Selection of density standard and X–ray tube settings for computed digital absorptiometry in horses using the k–means clustering algorithm
Density standard made of duralumin, along with the 60 kV, 4.0 mAs X-ray tube settings, yielded the highest clustering metric values and was therefore considered optimal for further research. We believe that the identified optimal computed digital absorptiometry parameters may be recommended for further researches on the relative quantification of conventional radiographs and for distal limb examination in equine veterinary practice.
